Reacting on the Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar controversy, Vicky said: “I think any kind of disrespect or harassment at the workplace or anywhere is not a correct thing to do. If someone comes out in the open to share his or her ordeal then the least we can do is to listen to what they are saying and to respect them because it is not easy to express such kind of issue in front of the world.

“It is also important to listen to both the accuser and the accused. When such kind of serious cases occurs, then it has to be investigated in a proper manner.”

Based on the surgical strikes of 2016 carried by the Indian Armed Forces, Uri traces the significant event. It stars Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, Kirti Kulhari and Paresh Rawal in lead roles. Produced by RSVP movies and directed by Aditya Dhar, Uri will hit the theatres on January 11, 2019.
